Jellurgal Journey starts at the Jellurgal Aboriginal Cultural Centre at 12.30pm and includes a live Aboriginal dance performance and AV presentation in our dreaming amphitheatre.

Participants are then guided to Burleigh Cove to begin their trek around the Dreaming Mountain, Jellurgal, with a ochre anointment. This important ancient ceremony is conducted by local Yugambeh person who will bless us with a safe journey.

During the trek around the mountain, participants will discover traditional sites used by the Yugambeh people, including an ancient midden and carving stone. Aspects of traditional life, including the sharing of one of the Gold Coast’s oldest Dreamtime Stories, ‘The creation of Jellurgal’, is a highlight.

Welcome to the 2017 ISANA-ANZSSA Combined Annual Conference! This is the first social opportunity to catch up with your interstate colleagues and sponsors and exhibitors of the meeting. The welcome reception also provides a great opportunity to meet delegates who are attending the conference for the first time.

The Sofitel Gold Coast Broadbeach is a 5 minute walk from The Star at 81 Surf Parade.

Contrasting with the modern, developing city the Gold Coast, our theme for the conference dinner will be The Great Gatsby, inspired by the ‘Roaring Twenties’. Take yourself back to a time of expression, decadence, and dance; an age of wonderful nonsense. Please join the fun and feather boas by dressing in theme … a little glitz and glamour never hurt anyone.

There will be a prize for the best dressed!
